Firefox 112 Released, Comes With Increased GPU Usage

Some time ago Mozilla released Firefox 112 which in this version Mozilla brings a number of improvements to their browser, one of the most awaited improvements is the presence of an increase in GPU usage on devices with Intel processors.

In addition, there are a number of other improvements that are also very useful in this version, one of which is the presence of the ability to perform restore closed sessions by using the key combination CTRL + SHIFT + T, and the ability to close tabs using middle click on the mouse.

Now for those of you who are curious about what improvements are presented in this version, you can see the following changelog from Firefox 112:

• Right-clicking on the password field now shows an option to reveal the password.
• Ubuntu Linux users can now import their browser data from the Chromium Snap package. Currently, this will only work if Firefox is not also installed as a Snap package, but work is underway to this address!
• Do you use the tab list panel in the tab bar? If so, you can now close tabs by middle-clicking items in that list.
• You’ve always been able to un-close a tab by using (Cmd/Ctrl)-Shift-T. Now, that same shortcut will restore the previous session if there are no more closed tabs from the same session to re-open.
• For all ETP Strict users, we extended the list of known tracking parameters that are removed from URLs to further protect our users from cross-site tracking.
• Enables overlay of software-decoded video on Intel GPUs in Windows. Improves video down scaling quality and reduces GPU usage.
• Various security fixes.
• The deprecated U2F Javascript API is now disabled by default. The U2F protocol remains usable through the WebAuthn API. The U2F API can be re-enabled using the security.webauth.u2f preference.
• Clear button, newly added to the date picker panel, allows users to quickly clear the input with type date or datetime-local and provides a familiar experience across browsers.
